Who We Are

Founded by George W. Koss in 1912 in Des Moines, Iowa, Koss Construction Company today is a leading general contractor specializing in highway and airfield construction headquartered in Topeka, Kansas. This one-hundred years of history is the foundation that allows Koss to deliver a wide array of products and services to a multitude of owners with a consistent emphasis on safety, quality, and integrity.

While the fleet of equipment dedicated to projects the company commits to is impressive, it is often the smallest of items that is the most noteworthy to those the company works with and for. On the shirt sleeves of many of the company employees who refer to themselves as “Hard Roaders” are small red stars. These men and women, laborers and craftspersons, engineers and foremen who are Hard Roaders are all experienced in their trades and take great pride in recognizing high standards and being a part of a team that meets these standards. It is with great pride that these men and women wear small red stars on their sleeves, each representing five years of tenure with the company. Such pride and dedication reflects a company of people that are confident they will not complete just the current project for an owner, but over the course of their careers may join with these owners to deliver many projects. And, such pride reflects on Koss Construction Company’s commitment to these Hard Roaders to provide equipment, training, and policies to foster a safe work environment and to provide wages and benefits commensurate with their dedication to the company.
